Bergman,

I'm encountering a serious issue, and I need your help with it.

I need some sort of validation code. If a sub-category already has a similar name in the database in a specific category, then the user should be sent to an error page....can we do that real quick?

Many thanks...

Here's Yet another hack from me:

This one allows special characters to be inserted into picture uploads.

Here's Another to allow special characters in comments posted by users:

do a compare on the changes you show here,
I used compare and didn't see any difference

So I guess what I am saying is show me what the difference is between what you say to change.

i tried to install this hack b4 but to no avail
but i really want it now
cuz its causing me problems having a seperate Photo gallery even though its very good
people don't want to register twice
and i only want members to post
but at the moment i have to let people post manually
each one comes to me with their own request to make an album just for themselves

so can u please put all the hacks and fix files in one zip and post here on this forum
cuz i gave up last nite but i found out i needed it today

[kuska]

Id like to intergrate it with the welcome panel.

The first posted hack will work for your needs. Use that.

One more question, ive made my gallery color similar to my forum, and id created a
seperate PHP page with my original forum header and footer. Id like to embed the
gallery beatween my header and footer but i cant seem to get it to work... I tried
the basic <embed src="url to gallery"> and the <object src> way...
Is there a code to embed the gallery?
The reason im doing this is to have my original forum style look with all the
trimings like the forum border for example.

Yes, simply add the header located in your style directly into the header of the vGallery format...that worked great for me.
